Wild Side Guides: Fox4: Background and Details

Video 4: Background0:00 outlining fox in charcoal again. I like when the charcoal blends into my paints.0:55 choosing white to make a thin layer over my background. It is a thin layer so that the colours we already added in the background still some through (to thin the paint I added some water, and scrubbing motion with my brush-which will wear your brushes, so don’t use a good brush to scrub with if you choose to do that)6:20 adding the colours and detail to the eye. I used Liquitex Raw Sienna for the Iris. Adding the highlights really makes the fox come to life. Fox pupils are similar to a cat.9:37 add some black to the nose and shadow to the lip. I watered down the black and added some turquoise so that the black wouldn’t be so harsh to create the shadow. And added a little bit of a highlight on the nose.12:20 adding some darker lines around the eye.
